Illustrator can be used to accomplish many different design tasks. This course covers core concepts and techniques that can be applied to any workflow for print, for the web, or for assets that will find their way into other applications. Tony Harmer explains the elements that make up vector graphics—paths, strokes, and fills—and shows how to use each Illustrator drawing tool. He demonstrates how to combine and clean up paths, and organize them into groups and layers. Tony also covers text editing, working with color, expressive brush drawing, effects, and much more.
